Dr. Conrad Murray to Take the Stand at Trial, Profess Innocence in Death of Michael Jackson
by Free Britney at .Dr. Conrad Murray will reportedly take the stand in his own defense in a desperate bid to clear his name at his involuntary manslaughter trial this fall.
He was charged in the 2009 death of his ex-patient, Michael Jackson.
After Murray's defense was dealt a major blow last week - Judge Michael Pastor ruled all references to MJ's personal life were off-limits, and said several other doctors will not be allowed to testify - his legal odds dimmed.
Murray planned to point the finger at MJ’s dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, claiming he got the singer hooked on Demerol and other powerful narcotics.
But, just days before the start of the September 8 trial, Pastor ruled that Klein's testimony wasn't relevant, effectively forcing Murray to take the stand.
“Dr. Murray is, naturally, devastated,” his lawyer, Edward Chernoff, told Star in an exclusive interview about not being able to call Dr. Klein as a witness.
“He sees forces aligned against him and does not know why.”
Will testifying on his own behalf make any difference? Can he possibly convince a jury Jackson was a lost cause or killed himself? Time will tell ...

conrad is as guilty as OJ! I have watched the entire trial thus far and the jury would have to be a bunch of morons to believe otherwise. In all honesty, this SHOULD be a murder trial.
I ALSO believe DR. DEATH & his girlfriend were taking those med's too!-WHY didn't they do a drug test on him???--That would have been the first thing they would have done if it were an average JOE! The PO POS didn't find all the drug's that MURRAY ordered, so someone either took them away before the police came or they flat out took them-literally!!! I think MURRAY'S girlfriend is a junky, AND possibly him too! THIS TRIAL IS CASEY ANTHONY ALL OVER AGAIN!--KILL SOMEONE--WALK AWAY A ZILLIONAIRE!!!!
